Golf ball

ABSTRACT

A golf ball includes a ball body having a central portion formed with a through hole. Thus, the golf ball produces whistle like audible sound by provision of the through hole of the ball body during rotation of the ball body after the golf ball is hit, thereby enhancing the playing amusement of the golf ball. In addition, the golfer can find the location of the golf ball by the audible sound produced by the ball body so as to shorten the time required for searching for the golf ball, thereby facilitating the golfer playing the golf ball.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a golf ball, and more particularly to agolf ball having an enhanced amusement effect.

2. Description of the Related Art

A conventional golf ball 1 in accordance with the prior art shown inFIG. 2 comprises a ball body 11 having a surface formed with a pluralityof dimples 12. However, the golf ball 1 only has a single function,thereby greatly decreasing the playing amusement of the golf ball. Inaddition, the golfer cannot find the location of the golf ball exactlyby viewing the travel direction of the golf ball, so that the golferneeds much time to search for the golf ball, thereby causinginconvenience to the golfer when playing the golf ball.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a golf ball,comprising a ball body having a central portion formed with a throughhole.

The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a golf ballhaving an enhanced amusement effect.

Another objective of the present invention is to provide a golf ball,wherein the golf ball produces whistle like audible sound by provisionof the through hole of the ball body during rotation of the ball bodyafter the golf ball is hit, thereby enhancing the playing amusement ofthe golf ball.

A further objective of the present invention is to provide a golf ball,wherein the golfer can find the location of the golf ball by the audiblesound produced by the ball body so as to shorten the time required forsearching for the golf ball, thereby facilitating the golfer playing thegolf ball.

Further benefits and advantages of the present invention will becomeapparent after a careful reading of the detailed description withappropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a golf ball in accordance with thepreferred embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a conventional golf ball in accordancewith the prior art.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Referring to FIG. 1, a golf ball 2 in accordance with the preferredembodiment of the present invention comprises a ball body 21 having asurface formed with a plurality of dimples 22.

The ball body 21 has a central portion formed with a through hole 23.The through hole 23 of the ball body 21 has a substantially circularshape. The through hole 23 of the ball body 21 is extended in the radialdirection of the ball body 21 and extended through a whole radialdiameter of the ball body 21.

When in use, the through hole 23 of the ball body 21 faces the golfer.Thus, the air passes through the through hole 23 of the ball body 21during rotation of the ball body 21 after the golf ball 2 is hit, sothat the ball body 21 produces whistle like audible sound by frictionbetween the ball body 21 and the air.

Accordingly, the golf ball 2 produces whistle like audible sound byprovision of the through hole 23 of the ball body 21 during rotation ofthe ball body 21 after the golf ball 2 is hit, thereby enhancing theplaying amusement of the golf ball 2. In addition, the golfer can findthe location of the golf ball 2 by the audible sound produced by theball body 21 so as to shorten the time required for searching for thegolf ball 2, thereby facilitating the golfer playing the golf ball 2.

Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferredembodiment(s) as mentioned above, it is to be understood that many otherpossible modifications and variations can be made without departing fromthe scope of the present invention. It is, therefore, contemplated thatthe appended claim or claims will cover such modifications andvariations that fall within the true scope of the invention.

1. A golf ball, comprising a ball body having a central portion formedwith a through hole.
 2. The golf ball in accordance with claim 1,wherein the through hole of the ball body has a substantially circularshape.
 3. The golf ball in accordance with claim 1, wherein the throughhole of the ball body is extended in a radial direction of the ballbody.
 4. The golf ball in accordance with claim 1, wherein the throughhole of the ball body is extended through a whole radial diameter of theball body.
 5. The golf ball in accordance with claim 1, wherein airpasses through the through hole of the ball body during rotation of theball body after the golf ball is hit, so that the ball body produceswhistle like audible sound by friction between the ball body and theair.
 6. The golf ball in accordance with claim 5, wherein a golfer canfind a location of the golf ball by the audible sound produced by theball body so as to shorten the time required for searing for the golfball.
